| Message | Why principalities? Aldegar is a republic, there is no reason to call the states principalities. The CPA would support an act that renames the states in "regions". This proposal sounds reactionary and not very logic. And it is in opposition to our constitution. We oppose it. |

| Message | Principality is just another word for State. |
| Date | 04:38:57, December 06, 2006 CET | From | Communist Party of Aldegar | To | Debating the Subnational Divisions Name Change Act |
| Message | Hm... the party committee understood "principality" as "the territory of a prince". |

| Message | There is no nobility in Aldegaurd, there never will be a nobility in Aldegaurd, and any implication that there is, be it true or not, is rediculous, and certainly should not be endorced by the government. |
| Date | 21:29:50, December 06, 2006 CET | From | Aldegar Social Democratic Party | To | Debating the Subnational Divisions Name Change Act |
| Message | We don't really mind either name, but we also interpreted "principality" as an area ruled by a prince, which Aldegar does not currently have. So we will oppose just to preserve factual accuracy. |
